First of all I want to say hello to all, I've been sneaking around the forum for about a week now and decided to pop my head up. I just finished my first setup a couple weeks ago here in my apartment. Been moved out of the rents house for about 6 months now and HAD to have a HT of my own. Here are the specs: (Best Buy discount so I was limited in selection)

Receiver: Kenwood VR-7070
Front Speakers: Sony 3-way floors, model #SSMF750H

Looks great! The TV fits so well into that entertainment center that it looks custom made.

P.S. Welcome aboard!

Yes, Ben welcome to the addiction. I like the wood entertainment center, classy. Nice DTS poster. Nice blue neon light in your PC. I would:
1. tow your mains in, (angle your front speakers to a 45 degree angle).

2. Definitely lift your surrounds so they are 2 to 3 feet above your ears for less localization of effects. See www.dolby.com for the preferred and alternate surround speaker placements on this for validity.

3. A+ on your system.
